Strange noise after switching car off

Followers

9 February, 201016 yr

Ok I've tried the search and I can't find the answer to this one.....so if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

When I switch off the ignition, the box with 6 wires on the o/s behind the coolant (some kind of vacuum unit????) continues making a noise for about 3-4 seconds, so I'm guessing it's about to fail. It looks like it's a sealed unit that would be easy to replace myself, has anyone done this? Am I going to cause bigger problems by fiddling about with this myself???

Takes 5 minutes to swap and costs around £100 from dealers

Fiddling by yourself may get you arrested in a public place. Other than that +1 for the 2nd post.

Gyp's "Two-Piece Not Quite So Variable Boot Floor" build

Gyp · 22 April, 20188 yr

OK, slightly premature as I've not exactly started it as yet, however this is here as a placeholder to make sure I get it done and done quickly. i don't want this project to hang around too long! The plan for the Two-Piece Not Quite So Variable Boot Floor is to have two pieces of wood that form the raised boot floor, with a join betwixt the two roughly half way back. Each piece of which can be lifted out if required, but the expectation is that the rear most section would be put in last/lifted

StephFR · 14 April14 Apr

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing an issue with my brake pedal (basically going to the floor), and I suspect it might be related to the ABS module. I tried to scan the ABS unit for fault codes using VCDS, but I’m unable to communicate with it: it seems like CAN communication is not available. Is this normal on a Fabia Mk2 (5J), or should I definitely be able to access the ABS module via CAN? Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Door Umbrella

Neigbour with a Fabia Mk4 called me recently, his drivers door and the rear (right) passenger doors were partly open with what looked like a stainless steel rod jamming the two doors in their partly open/closed positions, to make a long story short, it was the door umbrella that apparently had shot out somehow or other and jammed the two doors, he had partially opened the back door to let his dog out I think and had let his own door partially open, or something like that. The car was still unde

Replacing interior decorative strip O4

TimoB · 23 hours ago23 hr

Hi Everyone, I have been investigating how I can replace the decorative trim pieces on the console of the O4 (see attached picture (version I would like). The easy part has been figuring out the general part numbers, however I get stuck on the specifics. I know the O4 has two technical variants; one with stock leds and one with RGB leds, and that there is a multitude of different codes for all the different colours/textures. I would like to either find the haptic (square) silver ones or the pla

Looking to remove the spare wheel and lower the boot floor in a 2016 4x4 Yeti - can this be done?

OwenR · 1 hour ago1 hr

I am looking to remove the spare wheel and lower the boot floor in a 2016 4x4 Yeti - so that there is a larger flat area once the seats are removed. This is what my searches have brought up regards doing this: "With the Haldex four-wheel-drive system, the rear differential and 4x4 running gear sit directly beneath the boot. To accommodate those parts, Skoda manufactured the metal floor pan of the 4x4 chassis with a raised "hump". Even without a spare wheel, a 4x4 Yeti's standard floor sits a fe
